About Laura

Laura Bollin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing depression, grief, relationship strain, and work stress. She uses a down-to-earth style that emphasizes listening, encouragement, and practical tools to manage hard days. Her pronouns are she/her and she brings personal values and life experience to sessions.

Laura draws on 14 years of clinical work in counseling, hospice, and hospital settings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people find and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck.

Her background includes a Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University and licenses as LCSW and LICSW. That clinical foundation is paired with experience supporting people with bereavement, end-of-life concerns, compassion fatigue, and workplace issues. She often combines approaches to match each person’s needs.

In sessions she focuses on practical coping skills, improving relationships, and building routines that reduce symptoms of depression and seasonal affective disorder. She also addresses attachment issues, codependency, forgiveness, and life purpose when those topics come up. Laura describes herself as a spouse, Christian, ally, outdoors person, and animal lover.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing Shape Online Work

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this approach can be useful for depression, anxiety, and social phobia. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and can help with career shifts, coping with life changes, or breaking patterns like codependency.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods together based on what feels most effective and fits the client’s preferences.

Confirm session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work while managing hospice or hospital-related schedules. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which session rhythm and format will work best for everyday life.
